Just due to evaporation, my stock tank ponds near the house are down 8". That's even after getting rained in a few times. Weather service said we broke the 80 year old 7-1 thru 9-1 record for lowest amount of rain in that 2 month period.

Josh, my pond (in sand) with a 25 gpm well was still dropping 1/4"-1/2" per day. When I shut the well off, it increased to 1" per day. I shut it off a week or so ago. Since July 1, my pond has dropped 35".

Josh, check the well pumps and motor draws. All pumps are NOT alike. You can pump the same GPM at the same head, but pump "A" might be a 3/4 hp motor and pump "B" might be a 1.5 hp motor......
